Cast Iron
Stinger Stir Fry
- Serves 4
Author Notes
There's a BBQ restaurant here in town, Moe's, that offers up and appetizer called Stingers. It's a slice of water chestnut, a slice of jalapeno, a piece of hot link sausage, and a cube of chicken all wrapped in bacon and skewered on a toothpick before being deep fried. They serve it with a kicked up sweet chili sauce for dipping. It's crazy delcious. I wanted to try it at home, but I don't deep fry things so I decided I could simplfy it by turning it into a stir fry. This is the result.
I omitted the hot link, because the texture of store bought just isn't the same as what you get in the restaurant, but you can add it in if you want. —Danielle
